I think we are on the same side here. True the community is standing up after fact this time. What I took away from their declaration, was a proactive one that identifies "activists" before he/she acted. To continue coming foreword after the fact, is more akin to a smug slap in the face.

I'm trying to find a link, but this morning I listened to the Police Chief during a press conference. He said that he had watched the security tape and was shocked at how quickly the assailant with the knife was able to close the distance between he and the officer with the gun.

His paean to the Somali community most definitely rings hollow with me. Several years ago, they made a plea to government agencies to help them stop their boys from returning to the motherland and joining Al Shabaab. How, exactly, can the government help without being derided for islamophobia? Very little, it turns out. They're still feeding the meat grinder.

When the US-born sons are going overseas to fight jihad, and the refugee elders are in court on charges of supporting terrorist organizations, the problem is most definitely in the home. Statements such as this are nothing more than political grandstanding. Unless and until enough Muslims come together to enable a great reformation in Islam, the problem will continue.

The South turned on the Klan. California turned on conservatives. Islam can turn on fundamentalists, if they weren't a religion of fatalist cowards.

Combined Action

"In recent years, the Muslim community has faced conflicts with other Minnesota residents, including vandalism to mosques and opposition to at least one new Islamic house of worship, according to the Star Tribune."

And there you have it, the dreaded Anti-Muslim Backlash. A few acts of vandalism and some vocal opposition to the building of a mosque.

Local FOX News station did a very nice story on Officer Faulkner. There is a small video about his business (Tactical Advantage) as well.
I wish this man the very best in his future, and appreciate even more his desire to stay out of the limelight.
